Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.12.7 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the v4.12.7 stable release shall be applied: ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp devices ppp: fix xmit recursion detection on ppp channels tcp: avoid setting cwnd to invalid ssthresh after cwnd reduction states net: fix keepalive code vs TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT ipv6: set rt6i_protocol properly in the route when it is installed bpf, s390: fix jit branch offset related to ldimm64 net/mlx4_en: don't set CHECKSUM_COMPLETE on SCTP packets net: sched: set xt_tgchk_param par.net properly in ipt_init_target net: sched: set xt_tgchk_param par.nft_compat as 0 in ipt_init_target tcp: fastopen: tcp_connect() must refresh the route qmi_wwan: fix NULL deref on disconnect net: avoid skb_warn_bad_offload false positives on UFO igmp: Fix regression caused by igmp sysctl namespace code. udp: consistently apply ufo or fragmentation packet: fix tp_reserve race in packet_set_ring scsi: sg: only check for dxfer_len greater than 256M btrfs: Remove false alert when fiemap range is smaller than on-disk extent Linux 4.12.7 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - SRU Justification + Impact: + The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar + in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to + demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream + by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or + a minimally backported form of that patch.
